DescriptionsEdit Descriptions

The Anchor bible was originally published by Doubleday. It is now being handled by the Yale University Press as the "Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries". There is also a separate Anchor bible Reference series. Some books of the Bible have a new commentary by another author. Note Isaiah 40-55 and 56-66 versus "Second Isaiah". Note the Freedman commentary of "Revelation" vs that of Ford, at this point LT has the same cover for both, but they are very different. (English, Unclassified)

THE ANCHOR YALE BIBLE is a project of international and interfaith scope in which Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from many countries contribute individual volumes. The project is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organization and is not intended to reflect any particular theological doctrine. The Anchor Yale Bible is committed to producing commentaries in the tradition established half a century ago by the founders of the series, William Foxwell Albright and David Noel Freedman. It aims to present the best contemporary scholarship in a way that is accessible not only to scholars but also to the educated nonspecialist. Its approach is grounded in exact translation of the ancient languages and an appreciation of the historical and cultural context in which the biblical books were written supplemented by insights from modern methods, such as sociological and literary criticism. John J. Collins, General Editor (English, Unclassified)
